DC Neil Third, of Bournemouth CID, said: “The victim is now out of hospital following treatment for the serious injury.

“Further enquiries show that only one cyclist was acting on his own and not a group of cyclists, as originally thought.

“The suspect is thought to have cycled away along Christchurch Road, turning right into Wolverton Road after the incident.”

The suspect is a white man who was riding a dark framed mountain bike with a back mudguard. He was wearing a grey rucksack and an olive-green hooded top with a light-coloured logo.

DC Third continued: "I urge people to consider whether this could be a friend, family member or work colleague. I also ask them to think whether they may have seen him on the Saturday morning of the incident.

“I would also like to speak to a man pulling a shopping bag and who was next to the incident as it happened.”

CCTV released in bid to find cyclist who broke OAP's hip after pavement cycle row

What is the point of CCTV if the images are so appallingly grainy that this could be just about anyone who doesn't have tanned or black skin? Perhaps instead of wasting millions on the complete junk like dodgy bridges, dodgy surf reefs and unnecessary titivation of random areas, the local councils might like to improve the CCTV in the area so that people like this cannot act with almost complete impunity knowing they will almost certainly just be some fuzzy blob on someone's screen?

And we are mean't to feel safe ? Not with images like this.Apart from this how much was paid for this below standard investment in community safety.It won't be images like this that will bring the culprit to justice but someone with a conscience.

Good jpb it did not happen near th epolice box as i have noticed that even though it has its own cameras and police stood outside that the cctv outside the KFC is always pointing at the bloody thing. I thought it was supposed to be there for OUR safety not a big metal box.

This could be anyone of the young guys that ride down my road daily or any other road in Bournemouth. It's a good advert for people who are thinking about a life of crime but are scared they will be seen on CCTV.

If that is from the town cctv scheme, I would be concerned about the lack of quality. But it could be from a shop or somewhere else and sometimes if you have to freeze or focus in on the subject you can distort the image. Lets concentrate on catching the *******

I wish the old boy well and speedy recovery. Turns out his son is a DCI at Bournemouth and that would explain why Sat morning last weekend 3 officers were stood along the Road from Frys up to Pokesdown waiting for the idiot to return at the same time a week to the day. Not good enough, we have been warning this would happen at our end of the road for months, the PSCO who walks here every day on her way to patrol in Southbourne says it's not her patch and actually walks past cyclists on the pavement. Next one I catch going past my shop is going to get kicked off and we will see what a reversal action does.

Suspected all along that this could have been one of the drug runners that use bikes who committed this assault, who you see going down the precinct and down alleyways on their bikes, often with a staffy in tow. Looking at the pictures it looks pretty much like the get up that they wear

Yup, that;s pretty much what the the SW trains staff said to me, they regularly travel from Pokesdown to New Milton and back apparently.
